Nothing would be harmed by including one, and books that do use a monospace could leave it up to the device to use the best one.
There is a monospace font that looks OK and will work with eInk and is free. It's called Dark Courier.

Using this will look better and work better for eInk. And if it works on eInk, it will also work on LCD.
